Multi-Sensory Rooms
Mike Ayres Design Architectural building advice The most productive environments are achieved through careful consideration of the structure and space itself at the earliest opportunity. Mike Ayres Design is experienced in advising Architects and Project teams on how best to prepare the space in a new build or refurbishment project to ensure the optimum result from your investment.
Design
Familiarisation training is provided on every environment, our experienced installation teams providing a basic introduction to the environment and its functions. Mike Ayres Design offers more comprehensive options in partnership with Hirstwood Training (see page 194) including In-Set days tailored to your needs. We recommend an on-going programme to keep you and your team refreshed and engaged with the sensory possibilities within the room.
Prioritising design is vital to the success of your room. It is important to distinguish between design and the ‘layout’ of equipment. Design embraces much more than simply locating equipment in a space; at Mike Ayres Design it informs every conversation, product and placement and is based on a deep understanding of what ‘works’. This professional design service is absorbed into the project for most Multi-Sensory rooms, more complex projects could incur specific consultation costs but this is rare and always discussed with you.
Finance Mike Ayres Design is happy to design projects on a staged development basis to facilitate easier, long term financial planning for you. Multi-Sensory Rooms evolved from the Dutch concept of Snoezelen in the 1980s. Specifically designed to enable people to enjoy a wide range of experiences for therapy, learning, stimulation, relaxation and fun, Mike Ayres Design has pioneered the design and use of Multi-Sensory Rooms ever since. The concept is to create events focussed on particular senses such as feel, vision, sound, smell and taste as well as the more abstract senses of wellbeing, space, time, togetherness and many more. A Multi-Sensory Room is a special place where the participant feels entirely at ease and able to initiate and control effects and the experience created. This is achieved in a host of different ways; through special sound and visual effects, tactile experience, vibration, use of aroma and music either independently or in combination. Participants can achieve a liberating sense of control, often for the first time in their lives, and this empowerment offers huge opportunities for learning, relaxation and communication. The use of multi-sensory practice continues to evolve and reach new audiences with every passing year. Successfully implemented in both mainstream and special educational settings, Sensory Rooms are now a trusted resource for residential and dementia care as well as private, community and respite projects. Irrespective of the aim or audience, it is important to approach the project logically and with care to ensure a considered, appropriate, effective environment is designed and built. Partnership with Mike Ayres Design offers you the certainty of experience and authority and the flexibility to design and manufacture an environment to meet and exceed your aspirations. Not your budget.
Manufacture A key advantage of partnership with Mike Ayres Design is the assurance of quality. The vast majority of our range is designed and manufactured in our own workshops to an unparalleled standard. The remaining products are either manufactured exclusively for us by partners or carefully chosen to compliment our own range by our experienced team. Safety, function and quality are central to everything we produce and supply and we refuse to compromise on production or installation.
Installation Our own experienced installation teams are all DBS checked and have the relevant qualifications to ensure an outstanding outcome. Every Mike Ayres Design installation is to the highest safety standards and conforms to all current safety regulations. All of our teams take pride in the functionality and detail of our installations and understand the importance of details and an aesthetic ‘finish’.
Guarantee All products and installations offer the assurance of a 12-month guarantee and further support is available through our range of maintenance services.
Service and maintenance Mike Ayres Design employs experienced maintenance staff to provide on-going service, either on request or under an agreed contract. This usually involves a six monthly or annual visit.
Training Once installed, your sensory environment can only fulfil its potential if everyone is confident using the equipment. Training is essential to achieve this.

Sensory Studios
Mike Ayres Design
®
The basic elements of a Sensory Studio® are: A flexible shell, open space or blank canvas that can be reshaped with equipment and effects to create or influence whatever mood, experience, theme or scenario for group or individual use is required, and change it as the theme develops. A flexible and easy-to-use control system which can be used by anyone, anywhere, and which adapts as technology develops. An environment which can grow and change as individual needs evolve and to incorporate new equipment and ideas. A space in which to exploit the use of new technology, such as games consoles, iPads and other tablets. Adequate storage and shelving. Easy access for setting up and maintenance. Plenty of low-tech materials and disposal elements to use and experiment with. The typical uses of a Sensory Studio® are: Sensory Studio. A space of infinite possibility. ®
Tailor your sessions to be truly immersive or simply focus on a specific sense or single objective. This is a concept originated by Mike Ayres, which has evolved out of the use of Snoezelen, multi-sensory rooms and interactive light and dark rooms. Sensory Studios® are now included in many mainstream schools as well as schools for pupils with special and additional needs. They have been developed to meet the demand for more flexible spaces which enable the users to create whatever type of environment or mood they wish, either temporary or permanent. The Sensory Studio® allows appropriate interactivity by people of all cognitive and physical abilities. They are used for curriculum work at all levels, drama and creative arts, as themed environments, for communication and pastoral work, as well as for specific therapy and assessment. The Sensory Studio® can be a relaxing and fun environment to explore and experiment in. It encompasses all of the possibilities that current technologies offer, an environment in which you can experiment with and exploit lots of physical materials and low-tech experiences. Most importantly, Sensory Studio® control systems allow the user to have complete control of their environment and all of the equipment in it… very simply.
Drama, create stage sets and changing scenes, for audience participation. It allows complete integration of mainstream and special needs curriculum work. Theme work, creating any sort of scene, such as seasons, travel, space, curriculum topics and dramatic events in which participants can interact at their level of functioning or skill. Individual choice and control, enables anyone of any ability to select and control their environment, express likes and dislikes, understand freedom of choice and learn skills for independence and inclusion. Learning specific skills, such as cause and effect, visual tracking, listening and communication and all the skills needed for learning. Curriculum work across a broad spectrum of subjects, for example; science, maths, literacy, drama, physical education, history and social sciences. The Sensory Studio® enhances opportunities for mainstream students too, enabling everyone to participate on equal terms. To arrange a visit to discuss your studio project, call us on 01359 251 551 or email, enquiries@mikeayresdesign.co.uk
The Sensory Studio® can be controlled in a number of ways at any time: • Manually, by direct interaction with equipment, or by plugging in Switches. • Radio remotely, switching and interacting with equipment wirelessly via Transmitters • With an iPad, using our revolutionary ‘Switch4’ iPad app. • With dynamic interactive projection (for some elements of the Studio) Sensory Studio® is a trademark registered by Mike Ayres Design.

Sensory Pools
Mike Ayres Design
Switch4 LED Colourchange Lights
Multi-media Projection and Sound System
A large keyboard within the pool hall enables you to change the colour of the whole space instantly. You can also have a wonderful moving rainbow effect with speed and direction control.
Projectors are housed in a dry-air cabinet to ensure the longevity of your investment. For maximum impact, the projected image begins at the water level to provide a sense of connection between the experiences. Use your videos or slideshows to create the image and impact you want.
Being in water is one of the most all encompassing multi-sensory activities any of us experience. It provides freedom of movement unachievable on ‘land’.
Projection
Mike Ayres Design believe any sensory equipment within a hydrotherapy or leisure pool should be used to compliment, not replace, the experience of being in the water and use visual and lighting effects to create additional atmosphere for your session.
When you are in the pool you are often looking up at the ceiling space, we try to position projected images to make the most of this. Images and light within the pool need to be basic simple shapes.
Most in-water experiences need to be designed in to the pool structure when it is being built and Mike Ayres Design frequently work with clients and pool designers to achieve this.
Shower Cloud A giant 150cm diameter cloud shaped shower head that pours rain down into the pool.
However, a lot of features can still be added to an existing pool area and many of these can be controlled by an iPad via the Switch4 control App.
All equipment must be over the dry deck and always be at high level, where it cannot be reached by anyone using the pool. It will be subject to chemical onslaught from the pool filtration system and humidity. We will discuss all of the implications of this and the regulations and how all this will impact upon the equipment that you can include in your sensory pool.
Play Hose
Naturally, our products and services conform to the strict regulations associated with pool areas and we are happy to discuss your aspirations with you. For further no-obligation advice and information please call the Mike Ayres Design team on 01359 251 551 or email enquiries@mikeayresdesign.co.uk
Lighting Rig
Bubble Creator A large upside down saucer shaped disc that sits anywhere on the bottom of the pool and creates a large stream of fine bubbles.
A fun and inexpensive alternative to a water canon, rain shower, and whatever else you want it to be. The hose must be connected to the pool water filter system.
Control and Storage If space allows, we can build a special projection cabinet, and localised control via large keyboards within the pool hall. The control cabinet will be within a dry area of the complex.

Mike Ayres Design
The long-term success of any Sensory Room or Studio is hugely reliant on careful design of the space itself as well as deciding on the equipment that will furnish it. It is therefore important to prepare the space by installing or including: • Appropriate lighting • Correct electrical services • Heating, cooling and ventilation • Floor and wall surfaces and sympathetic décor • Accessible storage Consider involving Mike Ayres Design’s team as early in the process as possible as the objective consultancy for your whole project ensures the best outcome for your investment.
Curtains and Drapes We offer many types of Curtains and Drapes to transform and divide rooms. Blackout lined Curtains are used at windows to reduce the light levels within the room. Unlined Curtains can be used to change colours of walls and soften the feel of the space. Single and Double-sided Curtains can be used to divide the room to create smaller spaces and obscure equipment, so that it is not distracting when not in use.
Raised Floor Areas
Ceiling Grid
Made to measure Raised Floor Areas ensure the hoists can be accommodated. This simple addition ensures true accessibility for all to a range of sensory features. Usually created around Bubble Tubes, under cushions and around floor-based equipment.
Ideal for creating themed environments and creating visual and tactile interest throughout a space, Ceiling Grids are designed to suspend any light weight equipment and drapes from. They are open timber structure suspended about 220cm above floor level (above head height, but easy to reach). The grid of 60cm squares is fixed by special brackets to the ceiling or through a suspended ceiling into the joists above. It is visually discreet and attractive, in natural wood, white or midnight blue finish. It gives you the freedom to be inventive and tailor the experience to your needs. Made to support up to 8kg at any single point.
Audio-Visual Systems Sound, visual projection, interactive projection and audio vibration are a very important feature in Sensory Rooms and Studios. The size and shape of the space, how you want to create and use sound and projection, and where you want to see and interact with images within the space are all determining factors when choosing an Audio-Visual System. We use a wide range of systems from ‘Micros’ up to high quality ‘Separates’ and can integrate a computer, interactive projection and gaming system with them too. We suggest you buy the best quality possible within your budget. Please phone or email for advice on a suitable system for your environment 01359 251 551 – enquiries@mikeayresdesign.co.uk

Projection Curtains Made to measure specifically for your room. Projection Curtains give a bright, clear image on both sides when projected upon, but don’t show the glare of the lamps or spotlights. They are ideal for working close up to images and for shadow work. Curtains are normally supplied with tracks and hooks, but can be supplied without them. All curtains are manufactured using inherently fire retardant material and can be laundered without shrinking. Code

Shelves
Power Socket Safety Covers
When we create a Sensory environment, we position Shelves in strategic locations to enable you to place Spotlights, Projectors and other Sensory equipment at high level. All high level Shelves include a Safety Harness that must be fastened to any equipment placed on the Shelf. (We never fit Shelves without them!). Sockets and Switch2 Control Points are put adjacent to the Shelves enabling you to control projected images and effects from anywhere in the room.
Switch Controls and sockets are often put at low level for ease of access and to prevent trailing cables. However, this can make them attractive to people who ‘fiddle’ and is vulnerable to damage. The Safety Cover has a hinged lid that covers the whole unit. It can be closed whilst equipment is plugged in and switched radio remotely. The Safety Cover is opened by pressing discreet buttons on each side of its box. It will fit any standard double 13amp socket and can be retrospectively fitted.

Storage Cabinets Cabinets are individually made for each room. Adequate and easily accessible storage is an important aspect of any Sensory Space. You need to be able to ‘hide’ equipment that isn’t being used, to avoid distracting your student or client and to ensure you can create a ‘blank canvas’ in a Studio. As well as being secure, equipment needs to be instantly accessible. We design and manufacture Storage Cabinets to suit the specific needs of the environment, ensuring secure compartments tailored to the Audio and Visual equipment selected. This may include Apple TV, WiFi Bases, Laptops alongside shelves, resource trays and ‘Really Useful Boxes’. The ‘Really Useful Boxes’ have proved so durable and reliable that they are now available as a product in their own right and feature in larger cabinet installations.

Switch Control
Mike Ayres Design Features and Controls
Easy Switch, Switch2, Switch4 and Switch4 iPad Control A fully integrated switching system that works together, perfectly. Enabling anyone of any ability to control equipment and their environment is an essential right and a means to access, learning, communication and enjoyment. The means by which you can do this has evolved in ways that we could only imagine a few years ago. From physical switches, integrated or directly connected to equipment, to wireless, to tablet, to body gesture and eye control. Mike Ayres Design has always been at the forefront of this development within Multi-sensory work. Simple switches are still as relevant today as the latest mobile technology. Therefore, we now have 4 levels of control for our fully integrated Multi-Sensory Equipment. All of the levels of control work seamlessly together and therefore any piece of equipment works for each individual person using it in a way to suit them.
1. Easy Switch
The most basic Control System – Plug single Switches directly into the equipment. Use 1 or 2 Switches or a Nine Switch Keyboard. Step through colours, select colour, bubbles, and ON / OFF options.
15 years on, still in action, and many thousands of controllers sold, the Switch control is as relevant today as it ever has been. Being flexible and portable are key attributes to a successful control system. The whole system is fully integrated across a wide range of products and applies the principle of the ‘hidden’ computer by simply plugging in and playing. There are just three quick and simple steps to control the equipment in exactly the way you want. 1. Switch on power 2. Select programme Latched, Momentary and Timed programmes. It will remember your settings, so you may be able to skip this stage. 3.Plug in switch Either into a Universal Transmitter or directly into the controller. It will automatically know what type of switch you have plugged in so will give you the appropriate choices. And then it’s ready to use!
2. Switch2
Enables you to switch basic equipment in 4 different modes. Plug any relevant piece of equipment into the Switch2 Control Unit and use any type of Switch to control it in a mode of your choice; On, Latched, Momentary or Timed. This can be done manually (plug switches directly into the Control Unit) or Radio Remotely (with Switches plugged into a Universal Transmitter).
3. Switch4
A much more comprehensive type of control, that can be used manually and radio remotely with single or multiple Switches. It has up to 8 different programmes, each with a range of switching options appropriate for the individual piece of equipment. It enables you to tailor the operation of the equipment to any persons specific needs and abilities.
Visit our websites to see more new exciting products and systems in the future! www.mikeayresdesign.co.uk – www.switch4.com
• This is probably the best designed and smallest controller in the world (by far) • Manual and radio remote switching in all modes and functions (with a Universal Transmitter it will work up to 20 metres away) • FM frequency radio remote means no need to point and no interference with other equipment – use as many as you like together • Four main modes of control; On, Latched, Momentary and Timed, and up to 8 modes in equipment with Switch4 Controllers, such as Bubble Tubes and Lights • Timed mode. Precise timing up to 99 seconds in 1 second steps and then up to 90 minutes in 1 and 5 minute steps (displays a count down whilst in use) • Touch control (no knobs or physical switches to break) • Control panel can be locked, so users do not change your settings • Large and small jack sockets are integral in Switch2 Controllers and Universal Transmitters (so no more adapters, whichever switches you are using) • Use the full range of Mike Ayres Design switches or virtually any other manufacturer’s to operate Switch2 Control • Portable and fixed (hard-wired) versions available • Integrated into a range of Mike Ayres Design products • Built-in memory remembers the last settings • Intuitive use and comprehensive instructions • Designed to control any 230/240 volt equipment, up to 10 amps power consumption • Completely safe, zero voltage switching of many effects equipment • Completely integrated system working with a wide range of equipment including: • Easy Switch Bubble Tubes • LED Colour Change Lights • Tungsten colour spotlights • Easy Switch Fibre Optic Lights • Shapes Infinity Panel • Fibre Optic Flower Panel • Tactile Panels • Windbox • Sensory Trolley • The Switch2 Controls fully integrate with the Switch4 Interactive system too
4. Switch4 iPad Control
Programme and switch individual pieces of equipment and your whole room with the Switch4 app. This is the most advanced Sensory Environment control available, and it is developing further assets as new equipment and needs arise. One touch – to select the equipment. One touch – to select the programme. ...and one touch to turn the whole iPad into one or any number of switches. The iPad will programme and switch anything plugged into any Switch2 Control Unit, and any Switch4 Interactive equipment. All equipment can still be operated with physical switches, both manually and radio remotely.

They can be fitted surface mounted or into flush fitting boxes within the wall. The 13amp socket version can be fitted at low level with another socket connected to it at high level, adjacent to a shelf, for projectors etc. The blank plate version allows fixed equipment to be wired directly into the Switch2 Control Point.

An empowering addition, it ensures ever-greater accessibility to Sensory equipment for everyone. Any number of Switch2 Units and Universal Transmitters can be used simultaneously without confusion or conflict between them. Remember, these Switch2 Radio Remote Units can still be used manually, i.e. you can plug a switch straight into it.

PP3 Batteries It is recommended that you replace batteries in transmitters at least once a year or earlier if required. Always use high quality alkaline or NiHM Batteries, or the equipment may not function correctly. Imedion 250mAh Rechargeable Batteries are low discharge (so can be left for a very long time, without losing power) and can be recharged up to 1000 times. They are memory free, so do not have to be drained or reconditioned for charging. Powerex NiMH 300mAh Rechargeable Batteries are one of the highest capacity batteries available and can be recharged up to 1000 times. They are memory free, so do not have to be drained or reconditioned for charging. Maha Battery Chargers will replenish your batteries very quickly and the batteries can be safely left in the charger for an extended period; however, it is not advisable to store batteries in the charger.

Switches
Mike Ayres Design
Extremely well made, reliable and robust switches by Mike Ayres Design Switches you use are the most important component for controlling equipment. They need to be completely reliable, be accessible, and work in a way that your abilities comfortably allow. Some people need to work towards the understanding that the Switch is the means of accessing any equipment or effect. For others, it is an essential tool for access and communication. This is why Mike Ayres has created a range of simple high quality Switches, which are extremely durable and reliable. They are also an integral part of the overall Switch2 and Switch4 Control Systems. Mike Ayres Design Switches will work with most other control systems. (It is also worth noting that most other Switches will work with the Mike Ayres Design Control Systems).
Low Profile Switches with 4 Metre Leads
Where people have precise or complex needs it is best to work with a professional adviser or therapist to choose the most appropriate Switch available.
Made to the same high quality as the standard Low Profile Switches but with 4 metre long leads. Initially made on request for use with the Soundbeam® and for people in wheelchairs to access some equipment more easily, they can be used with any switchable equipment.
Nine Switch Keyboard Part of an incredibly versatile switching system, the Keyboard’s low profile design and touch sensitive switch area follows the arc of natural hand movement. This ergonomic design helps make it suitable for people with limited dexterity. The Keyboard functions as 1,2,4,8, or 9 switches and is supplied with three tough plastic overlays to show the active switch areas. Designed for use with a number of pieces of equipment such as the Switch4 Interactive and Easy Switch Bubble Tubes, LED Colour Change Light Kits, Switch4 Interactive and Easy Switch Fibre Optic Lights, Shapes Infinity Panel and an increasing range of equipment as they are upgraded and new products emerge. Features include: • 1,2,4,8 or 9 Switch Keyboard (selected by a simple slide switch) • Tough plastic overlays attached by Velcro dots • Touch sensitive switch areas, no pressure needed • Select silent or audible ‘click’ when switch is activated • No batteries needed • Has a compartment to tuck cables and the Universal Transmitter into whilst in use, thus making it tidy and compact • Switches the corresponding colours in the Switch4 Interactive Bubble Tube, Shapes Infinity Panel, Colour Change Lights, Fibre Optic Light Sources and any other equipment designed and manufactured by Mike Ayres Design Code

Colour Change Lights
Mike Ayres Design
LED Colour Change Floodlights LED Colour Change Lights with Switch4 Interactive Control Control them with physical switches and on any iPad. Complete and instant control of the colour of any room, just by the touch of a switch.
The Floodlight Kits work in exactly the same way as the other Colour Change Lights, including all 8 interactive programmes. They will create large pools of colour on whatever surface they are aimed towards. Great for spaces with multiple surfaces or if you want to colour a specific area of a room. Complete with Switch4 Interactive Controller, cables and power supply. They are IP rated too, supporting use in pools and outdoor areas.
Coloured LED lights can be used to change the colour of any space and in doing so dramatically influence the atmosphere of an entire environment. We use Floodlights, Washes, Spots and Panels or a combination of different fittings, depending on the environment and the effect desired. But what is probably most important is our unique Switch4 LED Controller, which provides complete control of the colour by anyone of any ability via a range of switch options.

Fibre Optic Sideglow Cascade A relaxing visual effect, offering opportunity for interaction and interest for people with profound difficulties. 180 tails of light cascade to the floor in a waterfall of ever changing colours. The light glows through strands of translucent plastic that you can lie amongst and handle. Powered by our LED Light Source, the colours are crisp, bright, controllable and you never need to replace a lamp. Everything is contained within an attractive wall mounted box. There are two versions available, one is Easy Switch, which has two switch plates and jack sockets for external switches. Simply plug in a single switch for on/off and to step through colours or a Nine Switch Keyboard to select and mix the eight colours. When the switches are not attached, it gently cycles through the colours.
Fibre Optic Lights
The second, the Switch4 Interactive version allows you to have complete control of the colours in 7 different modes and programmes, some passive and some interactive. Use a Universal Transmitter to control it radio remotely with any sort of switch, or control it with an iPad using the Switch4 App.
In the picture below, the Switch4 Interactive Fibre Optics are being used with River Stones to enact a story which involves crossing the stream without getting wet, but Pru stops to wash her hands and play with the water. The whole exercise involves communication, planning, balance, switch control, colour selection and even numeracy skills. This is just one of a wide range of possibilities for the use of the Switch4 Interactive Fibre Optics.

Fibre Optic Lights
Mike Ayres Design
Fibre Optic Sideglow Curtains These Fibre Optic Tails create a gently changing and moving curtain of light that can be handled and moved through. They can be used in an entrance, to create a room division or as a feature in an activity area. The Fibre Optic Curtain is available in a variety of widths and drops and is connected to a LED colour controllable Light Source, which never needs lamps replacing. There are two types of LED Light Sources available; Easy Switch, that can be connected to a Single or Double Wall Switch Plate. Or use a single Switch or a Nine Switch Keyboard to select and mix the eight colours. When no switch is attached the curtain gently cycles through the colours. Switch4 Interactive allows you to have complete control of the colours in 8 different passive and interactive programmes. Use single Switches or a Nine Switch Keyboard, you can also use a Universal Transmitter to control it radio remotely or via an iPad with the Switch4 app. £ ex VAT

Shapes and trails of fibre optic lights, hidden within the carpet on the floor, create a surprising and spectacular effect. The carpet, covering the whole floor, is usually dark blue or black, but can be any colour you wish and the lit area can be any size, shape and in any position on the carpet. As with the ceiling, the carpet can be illuminated by Easy Switch LED Light Source or Switch4 Interactive LED Light Sources. Each carpet is hand made to your precise specifications and priced individually.
A swirling pattern is created by 200 points of changing coloured lights intermingled with surfaces of contrasting colour and texture to create an aesthetically pleasing feature within a Sensory Room. The Galaxy Panel can be supplied with either an Easy Switch Light Source or with Switch4 Interactive Control depending on the degree of control and interactivity you require.

Bubble Tubes
Mike Ayres Design Bubble Tubes
The features of our Bubble Tubes include:
Bubble Tubes are one of the most universally popular pieces of equipment in any Sensory or Relaxation Room and Mike Ayres Design has a wide range to choose from.
8 colour changes: A bright spectrum of 8 clear colours which gently change when used passively.
The bright changing coloured bubbles rise through the column of water and create a fascinating visual experience with a relaxing sound and vibration. They create a centrepiece to focus on when rooms are used for relaxation and offer a spectacular reward when used in a structured way for cause and effect or curriculum based activities. We have been designing and manufacturing our own Bubble Tubes for many years and have been at the forefront of many new developments. Recent innovations have included the Giant and Ultra-Giant Bubble Tubes and Switch4 iPad Control.
Instant control: Use any switch to step through the colours or select and mix them, instantly. Direct or radio remote control: Plug switches directly into the Bubble Tube Controller or have instant radio remote control with our unique Switch4 Interactive Control. Easy Switch: Control in its simplest form, plug switches directly into the Bubble Tube to switch and mix colours. Switch4 Interactive Control: This gives you 8 advanced programmes, such as latched, momentary and timed switching, two colour mixing modes and a range of ‘Simon’ games. Everything can have direct or radio remote switching. Easy Access: the uniquely designed base is very compact and allows users to sit or lay around the Bubble Tube without the need for a platform or other raised plinth. It gives close wheelchair access, allowing the user to touch and cuddle the tube. Removable Bubble Tube Surround Cushions and Bean Cushions are available. LED Lights: All of our Bubble Tubes are illuminated with LED lights which have precise colour balance as well as being extremely bright and very long lasting. (You will never have to replace a lamp again). Standard Bubble Tubes: All Standard Bubble Tubes are 15cm in diameter. This includes Ball Bubble Tubes, Square Based ones and Easy Access ones. Large Bubble Tubes: These were introduced in our last catalogue. They are 20cm in diameter and give a much bigger visual effect than the standard ones. They can be used passively and have either Easy Switch or Switch4 Interactive Control.
Compare the Bubble Tubes
Giant Bubble Tubes: Again these were introduced in our last catalogue and were designed by Mike Ayres. They are a truly enormous 30cm diameter and give a spectacular effect, which is possible due to their unique design. They can be used passively and have either Easy Switch or Switch4 Interactive Control. Ultra Giant Bubble Tube: These are MONSTERS! 50cm in diameter and immensely impressive, they are particularly suited to large spaces. They can be used and controlled in exactly the same way as all other Mike Ayres Design Bubble Tubes too.

Bubble Tubes
Mike Ayres Design The largest Bubble Tube in the world?
Easy Switch Bubble Tube
Switch4 Interactive Bubble Tube
This is a very simple level of interactivity, enabling you to use any Switch plugged directly into the base of the Bubble Tube to control it. When no switch is plugged in, the lights cycle through the 8 bright colours, fading gently between them, whilst a constant stream of bubbles rises up through the water.
The Switch4 Interactive Bubble Tube is the most advanced, yet easiest ‘interactive’ tool for many teaching, therapeutic and leisure activities. You can control the colours and bubbles together or separately in a number of different programmes and play co-operative and competitive games with one person or a group of people. This is a valuable tool for giving choice, enabling independence, learning specific skills and as a sensory experience. It has 8 programmes or modes enabling highly dependent people to interact with it and each other on a par with physically and intellectually more able people using almost any type of switch. It works very intuitively, and its control is based on the principle of a hidden computer.
Plug a single Switch into the ‘Step colour’ socket and each time you activate the switch the colour will change to the next in sequence. Plug another Switch into the ‘On-off’ socket and the bubbles will stop and start with each touch of the switch. Plug a Nine Switch Keyboard into the ‘Step colour’ socket and you can select via the Nine Switch Keyboard any colour directly and even touch two colours to colour mix (eg. touch red and blue to create purple). You can also switch the bubbles separately. Easy Switch control is available with all styles and sizes of Bubble Tube.
Features include: • 8 different programmes and modes, some with additional settings and time control • Extremely bright LED lights providing 8 true and balanced colours (you never need to change a bulb) • Instantaneous colour change with fading (to prevent uncomfortable flashing lights) • Touch sensitive programme controller • Use with almost any type of switch (they do not have to be Mike Ayres Design switches) • Operates manually with any type of single Switch or with a Nine Switch Keyboard or a fixed Wall Keyboard Switch • Operated radio remotely with any single Switch or Nine Switch Keyboard plugged into a Universal Transmitter, providing remote control from anywhere in the room • One adjustable passive programme and seven switch controllable programmes • Light and paint colour mix programmes •‘Simon’ programme with choice of colours and adjustable rewards • Control and switch with any iPad via the Switch4 app • Available with all styles of Bubble Tubes, including Standard, Large and Giant with Square or Easy Access bases
We think so. An astonishing feature of the new Space Centre, Preston, is the towering 5.3m Bubble Tube. Illuminating two floors of the ground breaking multi-sensory room and at half a metre in diameter, this pioneering development reflects Mike’s commitment to meeting the needs and aspirations of the client. Wonderfully interactive, it empowers children and adults of all abilities, to control the colour of the tube via switches or an iPad as well as enjoy a host of programmes and activities with eight levels of challenge to provide long-term interest and benefit. The Space Centre is a world renowned hub of sensory work and the home of a host of innovations from Mike Ayres Design and represents the culmination of nearly 30 years of partnership with Alison Birch, one of the Centre’s founders, and a driving force in the latest development. www.thespacecentre.org

Mike Ayres Design Standard Bubble Tubes 15cm diameter
Large Bubble Tubes 20cm diameter
This is the traditional diameter Bubble Tube that is used in most Sensory environments and gives an impressive visual reward when used passively or with interactive control.
The 20cm diameter Bubble Tube gives a much bigger visual effect than the standard 15cm diameter ones.
All our Bubble Tubes now use LED colour change technology that is a brighter, purer colour, uses less energy and is more controllable. You will also never need to buy another replacement bulb. We also have ‘soft colour change’ which means that there are no scary flashes when it changes from one colour to another. Bubble Tubes are available in two styles of base; Easy Access or Square. There are two types of control; Easy Switch or Switch4 Interactive. They come in four different heights; 1.00m, 1.50m, 1.75m and 2.00m. Square Base Bubble Tubes Code

Multi-Media Projection

This can include Interactive Projection and Immersive experiences depending on your needs and aspirations, for further details turn to page 79-85. Projectors can be used to show film clips, animation, pictures taken on a digital camera, create amazing visual patterns with your voice, as a backdrop for theme work, and with Powerpoint or Keynote for curriculum or topic based work.

The projectors can be linked to video and DVD players, a sound system, iPod connection, computer and to an iPad. If you include an Apple TV you can mirror whatever you are doing on the screen of your iPad remotely, as well as accessing audio, video and any iTunes Apps.

iPads, Tablets and Mobile Devices in Sensory Studios
®
iPads, Tablets and Mobile Devices have revolutionised our lives and are relied upon for ever more of our daily tasks. Enabling easy storage of any audio and visual ‘tracks’ and replay directly through the player, a television, multi-media projector, computer or sound system. The iPad is also an exceptionally good stand alone resource for interactive and learning applications (Apps). Apple TV will also enable you to mirror whatever is on an iPad screen, so you can project (onto a wall or screen) anything that you can see or do in an App, image or folder. This opens up a fantastic range of uses for effects, games, tasks and communication. All of this can be a brilliant resource for learning and experience within a Sensory Room. Add to this the ability to programme and switch any physical equipment in the room and you have an invaluable tool for access and communication. iTunes, Podcasts and many other media sharing Apps are widely used in schools, colleges and universities for activities including recording and broadcasting lessons and lectures, sharing information, music and videos. Children produce media content as part of their curriculum and use them to access the vast reservoir of information, advice and opinion available from around the world. How can we use them in Sensory Studios®? For controlling your Sensory Environment The Switch4 iPad App has revolutionised the way that you can use and programme your Sensory Equipment and the whole Environment and then, with one click, turn your iPad into large switches to operate everything. See Switch4 Control on page 34.

For slide shows Make your own slideshow of anything; a trip to the zoo, ‘what I cooked in the kitchen’, all your friends, relatives and pets, a story, a sequenced activity, visual instructions, – anything you like. For story telling Create libraries of sounds, photos, drawings and videos to play whilst telling your story. The libraries can be easily changed and added to at any time, and you can share them with anyone in the world. Creating themes and lessons iPads are an accessible platform for almost any activity and encourage sharing of best practice and experiences. Take pictures, download from the internet, produce them on your computer, use any images, sounds and videos to create effects for a journey through space, a trip to the shop, London in the second World War, ‘what do I need to make an omelette?’, or any other subject. The pupils can help to create the themes and keep them as evidence of their work. Using iPads and iTunes is very simple and the technology is being improved and becoming even easier all the time. Using Apps, video and mirroring You can use an iPad for almost anything and can share that experience with anyone. You can do live videoing and see yourself and friends on a giant projection wall, or mirror whatever is on the screen of the iPad as well as play an incredibly wide range of interactive games and access the internet. There is also an ever increasing number of specialist and mainstream Apps that can be used very successfully in Sensory Environments. See the links on page 77 for more information about appropriate Apps.

Opti Projectors and Visual Effects
Mike Ayres Design Opti Sensory LED Projector Projectors are one of the most basic and versatile pieces of equipment used for multi-sensory work. This NEW LED projector is as bright as the original Solar 250, it is also much cooler, quieter, weighs less, does not spill as much unwanted light and you never need to replace lamps. This projector also has the unique feature of having sockets enabling you to plug in Switches to turn the image ON and OFF and START and STOP the rotation of the effects wheel. It can project moving images over a whole wall, or with the use of rotating prisms and mirrors, around a whole room. It can also project onto a very small area to create a focal point for visual, cause-and-effect and choice-giving work.
NEW – Opti Aura Projector
Opti Sensory 100 LED Projector
Create your own home sensory environment using this amazing multi-effect projector. Using the same effects found in sensory rooms across the world, the new [Opti] Aura Projector has been designed specifically as an affordable item for your home. Providing wonderful effects in your bedroom, lounge or anywhere in the home, the Aura Projector can be pointed in any direction, even on to the ceiling and benefits from a contemporary, spherical design to ensure it is attractive in any setting.
The OPTI Sensory 100 LED is the smallest, quietest, safest and most economical ‘bright light’ effects projector in the Optikinetics range. Designed for multi-sensory effects projection in smaller therapy rooms and private homes, this silent running 12V projector punches above it’s weight and can be used in other environments for effects or gobo projection to set the mood, inform or promote.
• The Aura has a dimmable function and off timer capabilities • The Projector comes with one 6”Effect Wheel that fits easily on the integral wheel rotator • Over 200 effect wheels to choose from • Additional wheels are available to purchase separately • A table and wall mount with fixtures and fittings is also included

Effect wheels must be used with the Wheel Rotators in the projectors. There are three different speeds of wheel rotator for the 6” effect wheels: Ultra Slow Rotator, for story telling and talking about the images. ½ RPM Rotator, for most uses. Shows clear movement of projected images. 5 RPM Rotator, for fast moving images. Wheel Safe Rotator has a metal casing and is best for protecting Liquid Wheels which are made of glass and are therefore fragile. (Does not fit Solar 100 Projector) Cassette Rotator, for animating pattern cassettes. Max Rotator, for use with the Max Effect Wheels Dual Wheel Rotator is designed to fit both Standard 6” Wheels and 9” Max Wheels. It also has variable speed control, from 1 revolution in 50 minutes up to 5 revolutions in 1 minute. Please note that you should only use the Rotator at very slow speeds with the Opti LED Projectors. (Projectors with halogen lamps create heat, which may damage the wheel at very low speed.) The Dual Wheel Rotator fits all Opti and Solar Projectors (except the Aura Projector which has a built in rotator).

Take a number of the styrene packing pieces for the 6” wheels and tape them together with Gaffer Tape. This makes a rack that will keep your wheels clean and tidy. You can also place large wheels in them but they won’t fit perfectly.

Projection and Light Effects
Mike Ayres Design
Pinspot Lights and Colour Wheels
Mirror Balls and Motors
½ RPM Mirror Ball Motor
Sparkle Nets
A Pinspot creates a narrow beam of light to focus on Mirror Balls, reflective objects or small areas on the wall. The Colour Wheel provides a gentle colour change to the spot of light. When used with a Mirrorball, all the reflected spots of light will gently change colour as they move around the room. The Portable Pinspot can be used anywhere in the room. It can be plugged into a Switch2 Control Point and used for cause and effect work.
Mirror Balls are one of the most commonly found pieces of equipment in Sensory Rooms, mostly used in conjunction with a Pinspot Light. For extra spots of light try using two Pinspots aimed onto the Mirrorball from different positions. But have you tried it with a projector focused onto it or just placed it in a pool of sunlight? The Portable Mirror Ball can be used almost anywhere, just plug into a 13amp socket. This model has a ½ RPM motor, a speed we recommend for relaxation and visual tracking. Note: For visual comfort it is better to position Mirror Balls towards one side or corner of a room.
The speed at which most mirror balls revolve often make people feel uncomfortable. This motor revolves once every 2 minutes, which is enough to be able to perceive movement but doesn’t make the room seem to swirl around you.
Sparkle Net – 240 x 180cm net of sparkling lights that can be made to twinkle, fade from on to off or remain constantly on. Hang on a wall or stretch across a ceiling grid for best effect.

Revolving Light Ball
The White Brolley is an instant projection screen which is easily transported and stored and will even keep the rain off you! It is particularly useful when you want to get images close to someone’s face and to be able to control the size of the image to keep it within their field of vision. The Black Brolley can be used for projection and is ideal for attaching fluorescent materials and tapes and used with a UV blacklight for visual enhancement work. Note: These specially made brollies have a central spine with no spike on the end, or handle and are therefore as safe as they can possibly be. Others sell standard umbrellas with spikes! £ ex VAT
The Revolving Ball sends discs of multi-coloured lights shooting around the room in much the same way as a mirror ball. Try placing it behind a projection curtain or a Projection Brolley for focused work. It can be used with a Switch2 Control Unit. Powered by 240 volts. Suitable for supervised use. The design detail may vary. Code

NEW Infinity Hut – with Light panel It’s another version of the Tardis!
Infinity Hut – with Light Stars
It gives you the same magical experience as the original Infinity Hut but with a different light effect. It has an LED Colour Change Light Panel in the ceiling that reflects on the mirrored walls. This gives the illusion of multiplying your image within a vibrant coloured infinite space. The Hut has an integral Easy Switch Control that enables you to change the colour of the lights and switch them on and off via the large built-in switch plate or any switch you can manage.
To go into an Infinity Hut is a magical experience, which seems to defy the laws of space. Acrylic Mirrors on all four internal walls, featuring 250 points of changing coloured lights shining through, offer the illusion of multiple reflections surrounded by an infinite galaxy of twinkling stars. An integral Easy Switch Control enables you to change the colour of the lights or switch them off, both achieved through large built-in switches or an additional plug in switch to suit your needs.
Room inside for two adults or up to four children. Popular as part of a Soft Play Room or as a stand-alone unit within a Sensory Room, the Infinity Hut will take the weight of 4 adults on the roof. Exterior size: 145 x 145cm x 105cm high. Interior size: Only limited by your imagination!
Table Top Light Panels These Ultra Bright Light panels use the latest low energy LED strip technology to provide a clean bright illuminated background.

Supplied with a low voltage power supply and colour controller (for Colour Change Panels). Sizes: A2 – 60 x 42cm x 1cm thick – 70cm diameter x 1cm thick. £ ex VAT

Shapes Infinity Panel Control the magical effect of the most interactive Infinity Panel around in a host of different ways.
Portable Voice Distortion System
10 Interactive programmes provide co-operative and competitive activities for up to 4 people as well as for visual, colour, shape and communication work on a one-to-one basis.
An incredible tool for communication, the Portable Voice Distortion System offers a host of possibilities for enriching your sensory sessions.
It includes 12 programmes; 2 passive and 10 interactive.
Alter settings to ‘assume’ the voice of a squeaky little mouse, a thunderous giant or make your voice bounce around a cave or echo from mountainsides. Few sensory tools offer as much freedom to be so imaginative.
Four of the programmes are basic ’Simon’ games which give you different audio rewards as well as visual ones. This is wonderful for many types of skill learning whilst being great fun too.
With so many wonderful and dramatic possibilities, the system offers hugely motivating auditory reward for minimal input or can also act to increase awareness for those who don’t self-monitor.
The programmes are selected via an easy to use menu and touch keys and the panel is activated by four large integral button switches or via Switches plugged into the jack sockets.
Completely portable, the Voice Distortion system includes powered speakers, a microphone (cable or remote) and is safely encased in its own carrying box.
Size: 87 x 75 x 8cm (wall mounted).

All Things Tactile
Mike Ayres Design
An introduction to tactile experience Tactile sensation is a fundamental part of your overall sensory experience. It acts as a media for exploration and enhances the understanding of the environment around you. As you develop, you build up an internal language for textures, as you do with all your senses. You learn about safe and dangerous tactile experiences through contact with the materials around you. Heat can be a safe or dangerous sensation, and how do you learn about that, how do you understand what is pleasant and what will hurt? You do this by exploring and learning about the properties of materials within safe parameters. Rough and smooth, soft and hard, warm and cold, angular and curved, embossed and impressed, rigid and flexible, fine and coarse, linear and meandering, regular and random, absorbent and reflective. You get the idea! These are all properties considered when creating a mural, as well as overall shape, size, colour, safety of materials used, flow of movement, as you explore it. Murals make a strong statement when you walk into a space. They are something you can physically engage with and will give you a much stronger personal connection to a building. Often used to offer original and distinctive ‘wayfinders’ and signposts throughout a building. The murals are an art form, individually designed and made to suit your needs and space.

All Things Tactile
Mike Ayres Design Tactile Wall Tiles Sometimes it is better to have tactile experiences spread out over a larger area, or just have a few to compare at one time. The Tactile Wall Tiles enable you to do both. The 40 x 40cm squares have special fixings that enable them to be attached to any wall and be changed around from time to time. Designed to be robust, Tactile Wall Tiles offer good tactile contrast and look attractive; individually and in groups. There are no others that compare to them. £ ex VAT

Tactile Splats/Puddles We have included the ‘Splats’ in a number of Murals and they are so popular that we have decided to make them a standard product. Each ‘Splat’ is like a puddle on the wall, filled with an exciting and colourful texture. They can be placed in random groups aligned along a wall or used as wayfinders around a building. Made with a wide range of materials, surrounded with painted plywood. They have two secure fixing plates for wall mounting. Size: Approx. 40 x 30cm random shapes.

Mike Ayres Design Cogboards
Loopies
Mike Ayres designed the original Cogboard about 35 years ago and it’s still going strong! Developed as a large and simple piece of equipment to encourage manipulative and motor skills, handeye co-ordination and the understanding of basic mechanical movement, whilst creating interesting moving coloured patterns.
Loopies are a unique and original range of toys designed by Mike Ayres. Fascinatingly simple and irresistible for children and adults of all abilities, Loopies are great fun to play with and encourage many basic and complex skills. The light 6cm diameter balls twist their way through the transparent tube, disappearing and eventually reappearing to drop out of the end. These are the original, as designed by Mike Ayres, and remain the best available.
16-peg Cogboard
Floor Cogboard
Single Knot Loopie
Double Knot Loopie
Designed to be wall-mounted, the board is presented at an angle to give easy access for people sitting or in wheelchairs. The giant cogs can be interchanged to create new visual displays and encourage more sophisticated exploration. Two different handles are used to turn them. Size: 114 x 71cm
Nine patterned cogs and two handles fit onto the pegs in any order you wish. Designed to be used on the floor. Size: 100 x 50cm
The same principle as the Single Twist Loopie but with a slightly more complex shape which encourages you to handle it with both hands, twisting it around until the balls fall out. Two different coloured holes enable you to identify an entrance and exit for the balls. Size: 30 x 20 x 20cm
This more complicated knot requires more thinking about which way to move and twist the Loopie, using both hands and anticipating the direction in which the ball will move. It is suitable for older children and adults. Size: 30 x 20 x 20cm

Sensory Integration
Mike Ayres Design Southpaw Hanging System Safety Snap – Provides a quick and secure way to connect hanging equipment. The self closing gate prevents it opening accidentally when under pressure. Working load: 450 kg. Safety Rotation Device – This enables rotating and circular movement as well as swinging and prevents ropes and equipment twisting when in use. It is supplied with one Safety Snap, and a second one will be needed to connect the other end. Working load: 400kg. Heavy Duty Safety Rotation Device – The components of the original Rotational Device have been enlarged to provide greater durability. The wear-point of the eyebolt is 70% greater, which will extend the useful life of the Rotation Device. Working load: 450kg. Rope with Eye Splice – Extremely strong rope with a smooth woven outer cover and a steel lined loop at one end, for attachment to the hanging system or equipment. Height Adjuster with Safety Snap – This enables quick and easy height adjustment to hanging equipment. The quick release cam mechanism slides up and down the rope and the equipment attaches to the adjuster.
Working together with Southpaw Sensory Integration has become an essential tool for encouraging vestibular, tactile and proprioceptive development. It is a methodology developed by Jean Ayres and used by many Occupational Therapists throughout the world. The provision of equipment for this fits well with Mike Ayres Design’s manufacturing and installation expertise. Therefore, we are working with Southpaw Enterprises to provide a range of their original Sensory Integration Equipment.
Suspension and Height Adjustment Kit The kit includes a Safety Snap, Rotational Device, 3m of Therapy Rope with Eye Splice, and a Height Adjuster with Safety Snap. These items may also be purchased separately.
Vertical Stimulation Device The Vertical Stimulation Device provides excellent vestibular and proprioceptive stimulation because it allows controlled bouncing and vertical movement.
Why are we doing this? Simply because the Southpaw equipment is the best available, the most durable and they are the most knowledgeable people in this field of therapy.
It comes complete with two locking safety snaps and four industrial quality elastic loops; two single loops, each with a working load of 13.5kg, and two double loops, which have a working load of 27kg per double loop. This setup provides a working load range of 13.5 to 82kg. You can add additional double loops in place of the single loops to increase your Vertical Stimulation Device’s capacity to 109kg.

Sitting astride a movable surface aids development of balance reactions. Add a little fun to your therapy sessions, and let your clients position in prone, as they see how fast they can go using their arms and feet to propel themselves across the room. Or they can sit upright, hold on to the wooden handle, and practice walking. Both scooters have a Baltic Birch base mounted on four freely rotating castors. A sturdy foam half-barrel sits on top of the base and is covered in phthalate-free and lead-free vinyl. Colours may vary.

Mike Ayres Design Weighted Blankets
Protac SenSit Chair
Weighted Blankets are an excellent way to provide clients with full-body proprioceptive input in order to help with calming. The blankets are versatile and can be folded and used where needed. Southpaw’s Weighted Blankets are manufactured with safe, non-toxic steel shot sandwiched between two outside layers in a proprietary laminating process. This allows the entire blanket surface to be weighted – not just individual sections. Both sides of our blankets are made of a softly textured fabric, to which Velcro hook materials will adhere easily.
Sense-stimulating easy chair for children and adults with mental and physical unrest. By stimulating the sensory system, the chair’s mouldable ball filling – found inside the seat, back and side flaps – makes the user feel comfortable in sitting and reclining positions. The balls stimulate the body’s sense of touch as well as the muscle and joint position senses, and the weight and pressure of the balls increase body awareness and promote calmness. With its four side flaps, the chair hugs the body closely, giving the user a feeling of safety and security. The stimulating effect of the chair offers a wonderful place to escape from hectic daily life or difficult situations. Restlessness and feelings of insecurity subside when sitting in the chair, and its surrounding flaps provide the user a feeling of comfort and well-being. Focus and concentration Protac SenSit Chair can also be useful in situations that demand extra focus and concentration, e.g. in class or while doing homework. Design and size Protac SenSit is available in three modern and practical colours. Foot Stools in matching colour and material are also available for purchase. The chair comes in two different heights. The standard model is suitable for people up to 180 cm tall. People who are taller than 180 cm can benefit from using the model with an extra high back. Colours: Aqua Blue, Lime Green and Dark Grey (Please specify when ordering). Sizes: Standard – for people under 180cm. Large – for people over 180cm.

Protac Ball Blankets are designed to stimulate the sensory system, thereby improving body consciousness. As you move, the balls move around and trigger a response in your brain. This gives a sense of security and has a soothing effect. Protac Ball Blankets are recognised aids for those with difficulty sleeping and for physical and mental unrest among children, young people, adults and the elderly with effects that are scientifically proven. Granule Blankets provide the user with better feel for their bodies and it’s limits, promoting calmness and a sense of security. Classic Blankets alleviate sleeping problems, mental and physical unrest, hyperactivity and lack of body awareness and are suitable for young people and adults. Calm Blankets are constructed with channels to limit the movement of the balls, so sensory stimulation is milder and encourages calmness. All Blankets are made with fire retardant fabric.

Mike Ayres Design Waterbeds
Platforms for Waterbeds
Providing incredible comfort and support evenly across the whole body a Waterbed offers whole body movement for even the most immobile user and is a relaxing activity within a Sensory room too. Comprising soft foam edges and damping filaments, to prevent a ‘seasick’ feeling, Waterbeds maintain the sense of free flowing water. Supplied with a heater, thermostat and wipe-clean reinforced PVC cover in a range of colours. (Swatch 1, Page 191) For areas of heavy or robust traffic consider reinforced sides. Prices on application.
Specifically designed for Sensory Rooms, the Solid Sided Platform supports use by ambulant people or via an overhead hoist. All exposed sides are cushioned with 25mm of PVC fabriccovered foam, so are safe and has the same ‘feel’ as the rest of the Waterbed. The Open Sided Platform is designed for use with mobile hoists and gives plenty of room underneath for the base of a hoist.

Relaxation and Safe Places
Illuminated Ball Pools
Safe Areas
Illuminated Ball Pools
All Safe Areas share the aim of providing a safe, secure, robust and durable space for those needing to relax and escape our often over-stimulating world.
A truly ‘Multi-Sensory’ experience, the Illuminated Ball Pools offer the huge existing benefits of traditional ball pools with the addition of visual stimulation and cause and effect opportunities.
Each space is different however, and the environment we create is the result of detailed discussion with the client and careful consideration for aesthetics, comfort and security.
Filled with translucent balls, illuminated from beneath with Switch4 Interactive LED lights, the Ball Pool generates no heat and never requires a replacement bulb!
The space could be complimented with sensitively selected mood lighting, sound input, appropriate seating and will be designed to accommodate cameras, alarms and sensors as required.
Individually made to order, the Ball Pool is tailored to match your needs and the specific requirements of your space and can be constructed to enable hoist access too.
To discuss your room or arrange a visit please call us on 01359 251 551 or email enquiries@mikeayresdesign.co.uk

Ball Pools
Mike Ayres Design Ball Pool Shower The Ball Pool Shower is designed and patented by Mike Ayres Design. There is nothing else like it! It transforms the interactivity and excitement of any Ball Pool. You feed the balls into the tube at the side of the pool and watch them magically travel up the looped or knotted transparent tube, where they are collected in the shower tank. Then wait for it… and a great shower of balls pours down onto you! This process continues for as long as the shower is on and the balls are being fed. £ ex VAT

Ball Pools This is probably the strongest and best Ball Pool ever made. It was designed by Mike Ayres about 25 years ago and is still made to the same exacting standards today. Its strong wooden structure is completely cushioned and covered with reinforced PVC fabric. It is strong enough for adults to sit and walk on the walls and the balls will not leak out underneath or at the joints. Every Ball Pool is individually made, so can be designed to suit your precise needs and space. See ‘Ball Pool Balls’ for advice on which balls to use. Hoist platforms can be made for the Ball Pools and Illuminated Ball Pools. Code

Training
Symbols for Sensory Work
Investing in training is as important as the equipment and environment itself. If you undertake training before you have your room or equipment it can help you to see the potential and decide exactly what is appropriate for your pupils and clients. If you do training after, it will enable everyone to get the fullest use and value for your facilities. We offer comprehensive training for multi-sensory work, setting up and using the Soundbeam and comprehensive use of omiVista and Beams. These companies are independent of Mike Ayres Design and you can contact them independently, or through us. There is no additional charge or commission.
Multi-Sensory Training
omiVista and omiBeam Training
Enthusiastic and inspirational! Hirstwood Training is a small but dedicated team, who loves to share its expertise in all things multi-sensory. It is passionate about our subject and it shows! Richard Hirstwood’s extensive experience of using and developing a multi-sensory room is based upon practical knowledge – giving him and the team the insight into what works, and more importantly, what doesn’t, in multi-sensory practice. Regular ‘handson’ sessions with adults and children also enable their team to maintain this level of excellent practice.
Both systems are supplied with two comprehensive training sessions. Following an installation or delivery of your system, you will be provided with initial familiarity handover training. This is followed by a further advanced follow-up training session when you are ready to move onto a higher level of expertise to help you get the most out of your omi system.
Do you need: • Bespoke in-house training? • ‘Hands-on’ coaching sessions? • Continued training & coaching input? • Consultancy to help develop a multi-sensory room? • To attend a unique, UK wide programme of training courses?
